Parnerl and Tenant Kennedy.

DUBLIN, May 2L-The Freemans Journal de-
nies that Mr.. Parnell has been guilty of cruelty
to Mr.. Kennedy. one of the Irish leaders Avon
dale tenants. as charged yesterday by the Dub
lin Express. The Journal says that instead of
being coerced to exchange his good farm for in
ferior land, averred by the Tory paper, Mr..
Kennedy sought the exchange desiring to occu-
by the less improved land during the grazing
season. In order to accomplish the exchange,
Kennedy went to Mr.. Parnelrs agent and offered
him half OF the years rent due the farm.
minus 25 per cent, which he asked a reduc-
tion. The agent offered to cancel Kennedy's
agreement if he would pay the entire years
rent. minus 30 per cent. which he offered @
reduction. This Kennedy refused. i.

Feeding Stock.

There is much 10 learn in the proper
fattening of animals. The most impor-
tant truth is that he who keeps his stock
growing and fattening from weaving time
until ready for the butcher, or, in the case
of horses destined for labor who so feeds
rs to best develope the muscular powers,
is be who makes the most profit; and he
must feed to develope for the labor to be
performed or other special quality re-
CURED.
The COW destined for breeding and for
milk, the mare which is to produce superior
toals any animal, il fact, intended for
breeding-may not be unduly pushed
Nature must have time to fill up and round
out every part of the frame TO produce the
perfect animal of lis kind. The animal
destined for slaughter may be pushed from
birth until ready for the butchers block TO
the full limit of its digestion, and with
profit; but it would be quite improbable to
7 g low this course with an animal intended
for breeding. How many follow this dis
eliminating plan? How many exercise the
common Judgment to bring about each
separate result in the best manner? Yet
either ultimate end is brought about by
common sense feeding, though carried out
differently.

The great prevalence of "neuralgia"-o
what commonly goes by that name-should
be regarded as a warning indication of a
low condition of health which must neces-
sarily render those who are afflicted with
this painful malady especially susceptible
to the invasion of diseases of an aggressive
type. This is the season at which it is
particularly desirable to be strong and we'll
furnished with sort of strength that af-
fords a natural protection against disease.
There will presently be need of all the in
ternal heat which the organism can COM
mand, and good store of fat for use as
fuel is not to be despised. 1t is no less
essential that the vital forces should be
vigorous and the nerve power, especially,
in full development. Neuralgia indicates
a low or depressed state of vitality, and
nothing so rapidly exhausts the system
as pain that prevents sleep and agonizes
both body and mind. 1t is, therefore, of
the first moment that attacks of this affec-
ton, incidental TO and indicative of a poor
and weak state, should be promptly placed
under treatment, and as rapidly as may be
controlled. 1t is worth while to note this
fact because, while the spirit of manliness
incites the strong minded" to patient en-
durance of suffering, it is not wise to suf-
fer the distress caused by this Inalady, as
many are now suffering it, without seeking
relief, forgetful of the condition it be-
speaks and the constitutional danger of
which it is warning sigp.-Ldncet.

IN Old Fashioned Bottled Dinner


-Four pounds of corned beef, two or
three beets, a small cabbage, two small
carrots, one small white French turnip, six
or eight potatoes of uniform size, and one
small squash. Cook the meat the day be-
fore You cook the vegetables. Wash and
soak the corned beef in cold water, and
put 1t on to boil in fresh cold water; skim
and simmer until tender, but not so that it
will fall TO pieces. Let it cool in the liquor
in which it was boiled. Put it into flat
shallow dish, cover it with a board and
press it. Remove all the fat from the meat

Save the meat liquor; but do not let it
stand in an iron kettle or tin pan. Boil
the beets the same day you boil the meat,
but by themselves; when cold cut up in
vinegar. The next day prepare the other
vegetables. Wash them all, scrape the
carrots, and cut the cabbage into quarters;
pare the turnip and squash, and cut into
three quarter slices, and pare the
potatoes. Put the meat liquor on 10 boil
about two hours before dinner time; when
boiling put in the carrots, afterward the
cabbage and turnip, and half an hour be-

be kept down by strong exercise, for only
In this way can perfect development be ac-

There must be far more daily waste in
the animal intended as breeder or for

fattening animal ends it's life in one, two,

animal is intended. 1t must be to the ex-
treme point of profitable endurance. But
this profitable point may be great in the

THE VETERINARIAN.
Gfdaders and FdrcU.


w. j. Sullivan, a veterinary surgeon, has
written to the New Haven Union to say
that there are very many cases of CHAMBERS
and farcy In the State, and that sufficient
precautionary measures are not taken. In
the course OF his letter he SAYS: "Not two
weeks ago man died in Meriden from
this foul disease, and over thirty four
horses have been destroyed by it in few
months in the same city; while in other
parts of the State chickens, rabbits, and
other animals that have come in contact
with horses afflicted with CHAMBERS or farcy
nave had the same unenyiable ending.
one OF the most noteworthy features of
tins disease IS the appalling rapidlty with
Whlch III spreads over a large arena, the
secretiyeness Of the owners of afflicted ami
mails, and the lack of principle of the ma
Jorlty IN dlsposlng or them. They pass
INTO hands of our low Jockeys who send
them TO other parts of the State and sell
them, where they serve as fresh nucleus,
spreading the disease, and SO it goes.
The first cases of the present visitation
were seen in New Haven last May. At
present there are over a hundred cases,
and they are being sent out of the city
steadily. Some are sold, others are allowed
on pasture, and yet the increase is almm-
ingly rapid. The disease RACES in every
town IN the State, and, as it is beyond the
reach of any remedial agent known to
veterinary medicine, its spread cannot be
arrested save by killing affected animals
and isolating suspected ones. Connecticut
IS the only eastern State that does not en-
force the laws provided for its extermina-
ton. he veterinary surgeons of the
State have made every possible effort to
have this law enforced, but without avail.
How long will it be until the proper au-
thorities are more keenly alive TO the in
terests of the community and save valuable
horse property from more extended de-
siructioup IN

in de kerrige which is already here :?
Dey will not be crowded in dat yer
seat, | know"
"Fhe very thing" answers Hazard,
who has already introduced himself to
poor Loo. who, homesick and tired, sits
curled up in the waiting-room, and
plainly written upon her face.
Hazard states the case to her.
Just now she is too much crushed in
spirit to do anything but acquiesce in
silence. Moreover she stands in great
awe of the gallant Captain, whose ex-
PLOTS have reached her ears long years
ago. So she agrees, without ado, to
riding in the Stubblefield carriage, and
she gathers up her little bags and
bundles and announces herself in readi-
ness to go.
Miss Lafarge, pale and interesting,
with her bandaged arm carried in a
silken sling. stares little as Captain
Hazard introduces himself to her
notice, and prefers his request. But she
too consents readily enough, and the
two ladies take their places in the
vehicle.
Miss Lafarge has ample time, before
the carriage stops at Bywater Park, to
make herself interesting and entertain
ing to her companion.
ODE drives slowly to enable the Cap
tain to keep pace with the carriage.
And Miss Lafarge improves this oppor-
tunity to the utmost, by relating her
late experience III the railway accident
Loo anxious and uneasy, chances
into the fair face of her companion,
who bears up under this gaze with adj
mlrable composure.
The Captain too, turns q pair of adj
miring eyes upon Miss Lafarge, as she
relates her story with grace and spirit,
and Loo grows glum and more distract
still as she sees this. She knows with
out being told that the Captain is com
pairing her saiow skin aud dark eyes
unfavorably with the exquisite blonde
at her side, and pang shoots through
her heart that it should be so.
Miss Lafarge takes the Captains
g,ances and his compliments quite as a
matter of course. She too perceives
the little ranking thorn in Loo's breast,
and the knowledge fills her heart with
Joy. To her the time passes all too
quickly, and the carriage stops at the
! ark gates sooner than she thought
would be the case when the two ladies
set out together.
Arrived at the Park, the Captain as
sists Miss Loo to alight. He gathers
her bags and bundles in one hand, begs
to be allowed the privilege of calling
at Stubhleie!d the ensuing day, lifts his
hat, and, with sweeping bow to Miss
Lafarge, watches the carriage as it rolls
away.
Then he tucks Loo's trembling hand,
in a matter-of-fact fashion, under his
arm, and marches her up the walk to
the house.

THE FARM.
More Limit ia Barns.


Here and there we see an old-style barn,
being single row of panes over the large
door. Through this comes all of the light
admitted to the barn, except what comes
through the open cracks between the
boards. When a barn OF this kind is filed
with hay it is comfortably warm, but very
dark by midwinter the hay, being half
consumed, leaves the walls unprotected.
With the light also come in the cold wintry
winds to chill the cattle. Our fathers built
some barns warmer, covering the walls
with shingles or the cracks with narrow
battens. The light being thus shut out, it
was necessary to have windows, so they
put in enough TO enable them to see to
feed their cattle. 1t was left for our gem
Grafton to build barns that are tight, COM
Portable, and we'll lighted. But even a..
present many farmers do not realize the
Importance OF a light III n cattle barn. Ex-
periments show that herd of mich COWS
not only keep in better health and condi-
ton by having plenty of light, but they
give more milk. Every barn should be
provided with plentiful light and sunshine
on the side where the cattle stand. The
practice, which is far too prevalent, of
keeping COWS in a dark and damp base
ment is not good one. They cannot have
the sunshine and pure air so necessary Tor
good health. Windows that are exposed
may be protected for a small sum by COW
ering them with wire netting. The day
of windowless barns hns passed; but some
of our new barns would be improved by q
few more windows.

THE GARDENER.
Glligst (i;ktttIo.

Of all the methods employed to secure a
crop of onions for market or home use,
sowing the seed for the main crop is the
simplest and best. But as it is not only
very desirable bnt absolutely necessary in
amateur gardening to obtain onions as
early in the season as possible, sets must
be used, and these must be planted as
early in the spring az possible; in fact, as
soon as the ground can be properly pre-
pared. If this is done, the onions will be
ready for use in the green state by June,
and July the crop can be gathered and
stored in any dry, airy situation, and the
ground can be prepared for another crop.
A deep, rich, olamy, soil is the most suita-
bic for this crop, and it should receive q
good dressing of we'll decayed stable ma
nure, which should be as thoroughly in
corporated with the soil as possible, and
then thorough narrowing should be given
to level it off as nicely as possible. when it
should be marked Off in rows about six
teen inches apart and two inches in depth.
In these rows or drills the sets are placed
about three inches apart, each set or bulb
being pressed down firmly, so that it will
keep its place, and when all are planted
the row or drill should be filled in with the
rake SO as to cover sets or bulbs COM
pletely. As soon as the rows can be dis
tinguished, the crops should be thoroughly
hoed and the hoeing should be repeated as
often as necessary, until about the middle
of June, when it will commence to mature,
and about the first week in July it will be
fully matured, when the onions can be
gathered and the ground prepared for an
other fall crop. But it should be under
stood that the onions can be used as soon
as they are half-grown or large enough for
use. When gathered they should be spread
ont thinly in a dry, airy situation until
wanted for use. To procure the sets or
small bulbs, the seed should be sown in a
nicely prepared but not enriched border as
early in the spring as possible. Sow in
drills about ten feet in length, one foot
apart and about an inch IN depth. Sow
thickly, covering the seed to about half an
inch in depth, ana keep the young plants
well cultivated and free from weeds until
the tops begin to decay, when the small
bull 8 should be taken up and stored as adj
vised for large bulbs. The bulbs used for
sets should never exceed half an inch in
diameter. If larger they are apt to run to
seed. Those that are about the size OF a
pea are the most suite Die, as they produce
the finest bulbs. The variety principally
grown for this purpose is the Yellow
Dutch, although the Large Red Wether-
field and White Portugal are grown to a
limited extent; but the sets of the lat
ter are considered rather difficult to keep
over winter.-HurdI Netc Yorker.

O0t !.trntc fOl. htOcE.

In recent report of conclusions,
| reached through long series of expert
| ments concerning the feeding of oat straw.
! Professor Sanborn, of Missouri, says that
| this straw is mainly valuable as heat and
| fat producer. Ii does not produce much
| fat, because cattle will not eat enough of
| it. 1t contains but one fourth per cent.
| of digestible albuminoids, or flesh form
ers, and forty per cent. Of digestibe car
| bohydrates or fat formers. Hence, to use
| it with advantage and set the full benent
of it. it must be fed with food of directly
the opposite kind, such as oil meal or cot
tonseed meal. The Professor found that
thirty-four pounds of oat straw and six
pounds of cottonseed meal has 1922 per
cent. of albuminoids and but 17.6 per cent.
of carbohydrates, thus forming, with the
straw, we'll balanced ratio. Dat meal
contains ZIG per cent. of albuminoids and
~ per cent. carbohydrates, so that pound
more of oil meal than of cottonseed meal
should be fed. The cost of this feed as
compared with hay at 50 q ton, or / OF a
cent per pound, is an important question.
1t is said TO take twenty-five pounds of it
to make steer gain pound q day, or Ct
cents daily TO keep him III good growing
condition. But if by feeding four pounds
of oil meal, worth l. cents per pound, the
same gain can be made, and by feeding a
proportlonately less amount We can keep
up the weight, it will help out a short crop
of hay. But to the farmer who has not
nnd cannot get oil meal, the following
facts will be of value Glover hay con-
tains per cent. of albuminoids. timothy
contains /, and oats straw / per cent.
therefore, it will be seen that q ton of
clover hay feed with ton of oat straw will
be equal in value 10 two tons of timothy,
because clover hay contains albumin
oids, and it is waste to feed it by itself, as
it is waste to feed oat straw alone. a steer
feed on straw long enough would starve,
but when fed with clover they are we'll
balanced ration, and make poor hay crop
go much farther. 1t is clearly established
that the food-value of oat straw can be OBJ
tanned only by feeding with something that
has an excess of albuminiods and def
cheney of carbohydrates. The farmers
food of this class is clover hay.
